>Negative reviews because of transgender Character If you think that's why there are negative reviews, then I have a bridge to sell you.

  The author was able to cite several reviews that were fairly explicit that they felt the game was a 0/10 due to the inclusion of a transgender character. Glancing through the metacritic page, it appears to be the target of some community's ire and there are several reviews claiming the game espouses "extremist views" or "SJW views". It certainly appears to me that there's some relationship between the reviews and the inclusion of a more diverse cast.

      Not really in this instance - the claim is that the inclusion of a transvestite character brought about negative reviews specifically about the transgender character. Multiple reviews did just that and were either exclusively about the inclusion or predominantly with a mere mention of excessive bugs next to a fair amount of text regarding the aforementioned character. I will grant - it is certainly possible to infer from the headline that the majority of negative reviews are about the transgender character, which is certainly not the case, but I wouldn't find it incredulous if someone understood the headline to suggest that. But the point being made is back by reviews which do exactly what the author wrote about.

        >which is certainly not the case So then why are you defending the author cherry picking such reviews? The "point being made" is backed by a small minority. That being the case, it is clear that this article is a deflection to shift attention from the poor quality of the product.
